1959: At the airshow to celebrate the opening of Wellington's new airport, a Vulcan, a Sunderland, and an entire aerobatic display team each came within inches of disaster. A good time was had by all.
My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.

I saw that not too long ago. Close calls.
And let's get one thing straight. There's a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight. — E. B. Jeppesen

That first clip of the Sunderland pass, I thought, "That's a bit brave..." As for the Vulcan They built 'em tough back then.

That was a great watch. I love how calm those old boys are about it all, you get the feeling they have many more stories to tell.
